Question: A 2 0 kW , 4 - pole induction motor is designed to operate from a 4 4 0 V , 5 0 Hz ,

A 20kW,4-pole induction motor is designed to operate from a 440V,50Hz, three-phasesupply, and when operating at full power on this supply it runs at 1470rpm. The motorefficiency is 90% under both conditions.
(i) What supply frequency will be needed to make this motor run at 1270rpm whiledelivering a shaft power of 12.5kW.
(ii) If the motor were supplied from a sinusoidal variable frequency source, whatvoltage and current will need to be supplied to it when running at 1365rpm at12.5kW if the power factor of the motor is 0.85?
